Go to chain and sprocket?

A set of Dirt Tricks sprockets with a sealed chain (I use Firepower X-ring) is good for 100 hours or more.  They weigh less than twin ring sprockets, too.  No chain maintenance, either.  Just hit it with a little WD-40 after you wash the bike to prevent any rust.  I haven’t bought a can of chain lube in a decade.  My bike stays a lot cleaner, too.

I was a dirt tricks guy for a long time but had a rear sprocket fail that wiped out a wheel and swingarm. Luckily it happened on the ground not in the air. Currently running a twin ring on my 350. I’m guessing I got the rare one that had some sort of defect because I had zero problems in the past. I keep thinking about going back to one but can’t quite do it yet.

Does silicone spray prevent rust or shed water?  I know that's what WD-40 was designed for, so that's what I've always used.  Never had a problem with WD-40 eating the O-rings, but maybe I'll give silicone a try next time.

@Trailturd Curious how many hours you are getting out of the JT aluminum sprocket? Its enticing at the pricepoint. I feel like all of the aluminum rears should be pretty similar wear wise.
